REMOVAL OF OFFICES.
Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
Big Springs, Tex, March 5.-The offices of
Roaomaster and Foreman of the r o Grande
division of the Texas and Pacific Raj lwaY are
being owed from this place to Bal d to day.
The change Is quite unfortunate for Big
S rings. and will add largely to the pc pulatlOn
of Baird. 1t leaves only the minor offices Of
the company here.
The item given above appears in Mon
days issue Of the Globe-Democrat, and
for fear it may create false impression,
the matter is explained by request of
citizens here. The special" in question
was written by man named Burks. who
was one Of those unfortunate enough to
be moved away with the offices referred to.
For the information Of those interested
IN Big Springs welfare, we will state
that the two offices moved away are com
posed of just four persons, two of whom
are nonresident of either Baird or this
place, hence our actual loss and Baird S
gain is but two.
The gentleman mOdestly states that only
the minor departments remain here. The
readers of THE GAZETTE may Judge of
this when the fact is known that we still
have the offices of the division superin-
tendent and train dispatchers, that of the
master mechanic, with the vast machine
shops. roundhouse, etc, that of the
superintendent of water service, OF the
district roadmaster, anG many others of
less importance, while the two offices re-
moved are but branch offices Of the de-
partments they represent.
By giving the above space you will con-
fer favor. skA2S.s,

Faithful After Death.
II our beloved dead


Should seek the old familiar pace
Some stranger would be there instead
And they would find no loving face
can not tell how II might be
In other homes, but this know,
Could my lost darling come TO me,
That she would never find IL 80.
Outlines the flowers have come and gone,
Outlines the winter winds have blown,
Tie while her peaceful rest went on,
And have learned to live alone;
Have slowly learned from day to day
In my life's task to bear my part;
But whether grave, or whether gay
hide my memory IN my heart.
Fond, faithful love has blessed my wa;.
And friends are round me, true and tried !
They have their place, but hers to-day
Is empty as the day she died.
How would spring with bated breath,
And Joy too deep for word or sign,
To take my darling home from death,
And once again to call her mine
1 dare not dream that blissful dream,
It fills my heart with wild unrest;
Where yondcr cold white marbles glen
She still must siumbcr: God knows best
But this know, those who say
Our best beloved would find no place
Have never hurgered every day,
Through years aud years, for one sweet
face.

SCIENTISTS AT WAR.

The differences existing in the Acad

weeks ago in the complete overthrow
and humiliation of the Davidson adj
ministration. which has directed the
course of the academy for the past tif
teen wears, have not healed. says The
San Francisco Chronicle. Indeed. sur
face appearances would indicate that
the beginning has hardly been reached.
In few months IL ~ expected the Lick
trustees will distribute the estate. and
then the academy will be among the
richest of all scientific societies in the
world. But out of this ''late uupleas-
antncss' there has grown an important
difficulty. Among the prospective pos
sessions of the academy was the mag
nificent collection of the Alaska Com.
mercial company, comprising Indian
relics. stuffed animals, the fauna and
fora and doubtless the most complete
and representative scientific collection
Of northwest America. Regarded from
q scientific view the collection is inval.
liable. for OF the curiosities there are nc
duplicates. and even from the Gallons
standpoint of metallic dollars the col
lection. Il is stated, would bring $40

collection has always.been .a'source OF

was in a suitable building. it should

that the old administration had moi

Tobogganlllg IA Canada.


The scene upon a winters evening
is picturesque and gorgeous. Shortly
after dusk the guests begin to assem-
BILE, young and old, men and women,
being for the greater part aparelled in
proper costume. and bringing with
them skates and toboggans. The lady
wears suit of blanket cloth, white,
blue, myrtle, or magenta, the same
being fancifully trimmed with co!ors
to match. Upon her feet she has buff
moccasins, and upon her head a toquc
OF rich color with long streaming
tassel. The men wear similar cosumes,
knee breeches, and long black stock
ings. 1t frequently happens that
neither moon nor star is to be seen
upon one of these festive evenings ut
the hall, and then an enormous bon
fire, constructed Of many cords of dry
logs, burns in the midst Of the
ground. its gusts of flame playing
among the pines, and waking thous
and shadows into mad revel. Those
who are afraid to descend the dizzy
slides stand in the glare of the giant
fire, and the ear furthest from
the flame may turn white. while the
nigh one is red, for the mercury is at
the moment probably twenty degrees
below zero. II is seldom that a more
gorgeous spectacle is presented than
when u couple OF hundred costumed
guests gather about this fire, the colors
of their garments frightened by the
glare. and the gloomy depths of the
pine woods forming a background for
the picture
But all the excitement is in another
direction. From the heads of each Of
the slides, already referred to- descends
an icy trough, and along each side
hangs a row of Chinese lanters, whose
sober, unwaverng glow is a constant
rebuko to the mad revclng down the
slippery steep. Each toboggan accom-
modates from two TO four persons, the
steerer throwing himself upon his side
and steering his conveyance in its light
ming career by a quick touch of his
moccasined toe. The speed of tobog-
gan is equal to that of a lightning en-
press, and during my descent | imagin-
ed that ] was falling sheer down a
precipice; and my heart and complete
interior economy seemed to rise into my
throat. No object is distinguishable
during the downward plunge. Chinese
lanterns, returning toboggancrs, the
| icy bank, and the motionless spectators
all being mingled like the passing en-
Scmblc of Kaleidoscope, No one
seems to enjoy this exciting passage so
much as the Canadian girl, and a pic
turesque sight II is TO see her as she is
shot past, her toque and headwrap
streaming behind, her eyes cleaning
with excitement But either by night
or day there is only the space of heart
beat given you to note her look, for she
goes past. bravely reliant upon the gal
liant steersman, with the mpetuosity Of
a shot-bolt. Edmund Collins. in Brook

LEGAL OPINIONS.
What Chicago Lawyers Have to
Say About the Matter.

NANO
CHICAGO, Nov. "A reporter called
upon some of the leading attorneys this
afternoon for the purpose of obtaining
their views as to the probable action of
the governor in the anarchist cases.
Judge W. c. Cloudy said: 1.-The law is per
missive, not mandatory, and the governor
can do just as he pleases."
Gen. /. n, Stiles said: Petitions to the
governor wsll now follow for Communication
of sentence, but what these petitions are
going to do for men who scorn efforts for
their pardon. l can't say. The governor Will
probably stay an execution OF sentence
reasonable time in order that their cases can
be presented. The men have had fair trial
and have been properly convicted. do not
think there was an object made before the
United States supreme court that was worthy
of serious consideration. judge that the at
torneyS fol the anarchists had no commence
in their position
Hon Leonard SWEET said: 1.-THE question
to come before the governor understand to
be, whether he will commute the sentence or
whether he will let the law take its course.
That brings the whole case before him, and
he can consider any question which he
pleases to consider in relation to it. don't
understand that the governor considers the
law points of the case. As TO the probability
of a reprieve can express no opinion, as l
was employed as lawyer TO take the case TO
the supreme court and make such objections
to the convection as could. Ihave done my
duty
Judge MeAllister said: "a man may be
Technically guilty and lawfully guilty, and
yet it may be case for the exercise Of Glenn
ency. The governor can consider the whole
case, and is in no way restricted i'll his action
BY the decision of the courts. AS to the prob
ability of reprieve, have no opinion to
offer. 1t is an awful responsibility for the
Governor. don't hesitate to say If he al
LOWS tho laIy fO take IFS course il will make
